I made [Tammy](http://tammykirks.com) this cake for her birthday, a labor of lemon love, using a recipe from America’s Test Kitchen.  The frosting is seven minute meringue with a bit of lemon juice to give it some zing.  The yellow filling is a gorgeous lemon curd.

Yes, it was amazing.

I’m trying. Trying to be positive. Trying to motivate myself without hate. Trying to find an activity that I’m passionate about while maintaining my emotional center.

It’s hard.
